czajkowskinods13:13
DJonesi work as an accountant so to me the one thing I find is missing from linux generally is an easy to use accounting package, most small businesses/charities etc are guided towards Sage on windows because it seems to be the industry standard in the uk, apart from gnucash I've found anything thats that easy to use yet, although i've not looked for about 12 months, from a business point of view openoffice can meet most needs, but accounting wise its q13:16
czajkowskiDJones: so AlanBell ha written about gnucash a bit13:18
czajkowskithat's one of the paper jams13:18

DJonesThanks AlanBell13:23
DJonesAlanBell: If it helps, I have access to Sage Line 50 which has various templates, I can have a dig around in that if its of any use looking at their templates13:25
czajkowskiI'd like for us to start to log these paper jams13:26
czajkowskiI must poke ivanka13:26
DJonesIn all the time I've been going out to clients looking at their accounting systems, I've only come across one that had considered using anything other than windows, and they'd picked ubuntu to look at, although 12 months later they'd not done anything else with it13:29
